Our intention here is to create a much needed resource center for our trainees and those of you looking into our business start-up offerings. We expect to share articles, marketing tips, sales presentation strategies, as well as delve into all sorts of topics related to business ownership like preparing a business plan and seeking out business start-up financing.

This is a Business Opportunity. It’s a unique and very creative business opportunity. It can also be a lucrative business opportunity. The rugs that we teach you how to make can sell for thousands and even in the tens of thousands of dollars.

It’s a fast paced start up business. It is not only possible, but highly likely that you will recover your initial investment within 6 months. I know this for a fact because that’s exactly the path that I traveled when I launched my own Carpet Sculpture business 15 years ago.

Our custom rug making business is Mastercraft Carpet Makers. We have a couple of profitable websites that focus on niche markets selling custom rugs. We have identified at least 9 of these markets and several of these markets have multiple niche markets within.

There’s still a lot of room for growth!

We will be releasing a special report on these markets soon.

We’ll touch on some of our past success stories, and even a few of our mistakes. All said with the good intention of sharing.

That’s the purpose of this weblog: to make it easy for a dialog to flow and to allow direct feedback. There are filters in place, because unfortunately blogs attract a ton of spam. There may be slight delays before your comments appear live. Without these filters in place it can be a real chore to sift through and locate legitimate posts / comments.
